Dear Friends,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the third LS2 Social Event - a Science Hike trip to Blausee, BE!
Join us on 30 June 2024, as we embark on a summer hike around this spectacular blue lake.
A variety of scientific topics will surround local hiking trails while we challenge you to present your research in 1 minute!
This hike is an opportunity to unwind, reconnect with your fellow scientists and learn something new about life sciences.
Location Blausee - thanks to its very special color and crystal-clear water, which has its source in subterranean springs, Blausee is one of the best-known mountain lakes in Switzerland. It is located in the midst of a 20-hectare large nature park with a landscape formed by a rock slide that led to the creation of the lake.
The lake and the special forest charmed local inhabitants and tourists early on. In 1885 Blausee was praised in a travel guide as a "jewel of a landscape immersed in magical forest solitude". Today the region is very accessible, thanks to walking paths, picnic spots and bonfire spots. There is a hotel with a spa directly on the shore of the lake, and next to it, there is a successful organic trout farm.
Date: 30 June 2024 (Sunday)
Time: 10 AM
Meeting Point: Blausee, BE bus stop
Remember to bring your lunch and water and please wear suitable hiking gear for your comfort.
Based on the weather we will select one of the hiking trails.
We hope to see many of you!
